N&N: Shaw wins, Naylor returns, and Espino catches eyes
Morning news and notes for Wednesday, March 30, 2022
The Guardians had a field day against the Brewers yesterday, but before that, Oscar Gonzalez, Daniel Johnson, Adam Scott, Ian Gibaut, and Jake Jewell were sent to minor league camp. Gabriel Arias is excited that he can now play Cones of Dunshire in his free time again.
- Ya know how I mentioned that yesterday’s game went well? They beat the Brewers 10-3, hit a bunch of dingers, and got Bryan Shaw a PitcherWin, but none of that was the best news. The Best news was that Josh Naylor was back in action, and singled and doubled.
- FanGraphs compared Daniel Espino to Gerrit Cole, Steve Strasburg and Jacob deGrom. Bums.
- Nick Sandlin returned to game action, pitching a scoreless inning over at MiLB camp.
Around baseball
- Fans looking for a reason to go to the game on the 15th probably won’t get to see Evan Longoria, as he is likely to miss the Guardians’ home opener due to injury.
- Francisco Lindor continued his spring mashing.
